<div>Clearly the road is called London Road, but I presume there are 'street signs' with the terrace name. name:left & name:right may be appropriate. I've only tended to use them when the street itself has no name, but each side has a name, so I don't have
a firm opinion.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Naming the terraces themselves causes all sorts of problems once they get terraced (although I think addresses in Edinburgh are predominantly on entries/doors); so the use of addr:substreet or addr:parentstreet in the address does not actually resolve
the issue that these have signage typical of street names, and consequently may confuse a mapper unfamiliar with this pattern. (Note the opposite occurs, houses on a named street, which could be a dependent street, but does not feature in the address).</div>

<div>PS. I must write up official addresses on infill along one road near me: they are a right hodge-podge with some being dependent streets and others not.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just wondering if there is any consensus/guidance on tagging of streets with adjacent named buildings/terraces. There are quite a few of these in Scotland, and until now these have been tagged with the main name of the road, and name:left/name:right as
appropriate for the building/terrace name.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Recently a mapper has changed a couple of these so the (minor) name appears on the map, and they do not appear to be local. Before reverting this, I just wanted to reach out to the wider community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This road is called London Road, but the buildings to the north are called Leopold Place, see <a href="https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=932836447528898" target="_blank">https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=932836447528898</a> which shows both signs (although
a bit blurry)</div>
